American rockers Dave Matthews Band have a tradition of touring America every summer, and this year is no different. Tickets to their 2015 run – including a September 1st Vancouver date – are now on sale.

There’s been plenty of speculation over the past few months, and an appearance in the Grammys is always a sign of things to come. Today legendary Australian band AC/DC finally delivered on those rumors by announcing 13 North American tour dates in the fall. The band released its latest album Rock or Bust in November 2014, its first since 2008’s Black Ice.

Tickets for the new tour go on sale next week. The 13-date stadium tour features 7 Canadian stops, including Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Edmonton.

Fresh off his comeback win over Carlos Condit one month ago, Georges St-Pierre is returning to the Octagon in the spring. The reigning welterweight champion is set to fight Nick Diaz in a title bout at the Bell Centre on March 16, 2013. It’s a fight that St-Pierre has been gunning for in the aftermath of his successful title defence in November, a rematch after Diaz was pulled from their UFC 137 matchup due to Diaz’s no-show at promotional events and then injury forcing St-Pierre out of another matchup back in February.

The bout between GSP and Diaz has clearly touched a nerve with the normally statesman-like St-Pierre, who was quoted as saying that Diaz has “made it personal and I personally can’t wait”. There’s bad blood between the two fighters, which should make for an especially interesting match-up come March.

Other matchups on the UFC 158 card include other welterweight bouts between Canadian Rory MacDonald and Carlos Condit, as well as Johny Hendricks taking on Jake Ellenberger. Public onsales start January 19th, but fans can pre-order their UFC 158 tickets with ShowTimeTickets.com, where you can get any ticket, any time for all the best events worldwide!
